MESSAGE FROM HIS WIFE

Good day. I am Charmie Galo, wife of MELCHOR FRONDA, I am coming to you, I hope you will help us with the financial need for my husband's surgery, he was discovered to have heart disease, "Congenital Heart Disease, RCSOV, Severe AR". That’s why he often has a fever, coughs, coughs, pneumonia, and it's hard for him to breathe.

We don't have the capacity to get him to undergo the open-heart surgery because the amount we need is huge, more than P613, 442.00 thousand pesos. I don't have a job because I am the one who takes care of our five children, while my husband is unable to work since he has a serious heart condition, we have almost no supplies for our daily food, because we are both unemployed.

Please help my husband to have surgery, his condition is worsened as the days pass. If we have money, we can only buy daily needs and medicine for our children if they get sick.

I hope you can help us so that we can be with my husband, and he can live a normal life like any other father with his family.

A HEART FULL OF HOPE

In a small, close-knit barangay, Daddy Melchor was known as the gentle and loving father of his family. With five lively children, he filled their home with laughter, stories, and warmth, even as his own health grew increasingly fragile. Melchor had congenital heart disease, complicated by RCSOV and severe aortic regurgitation, which left him unable to work. His wife, Charmie, was a devoted mother, but with no job and mounting bills, they faced an uphill battle.

One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden hue over their modest home, Melchor gathered his children around him. “Listen closely, my little stars,” he said, his voice steady but soft. “I need you to be brave. Daddy is not feeling well, and the doctors say I need surgery. It’s a big deal, but together, we can find a way.”
The children’s faces fell, but Melchor smiled, reassuring them. “We have each other, and that’s what matters most.”

Charmie, overhearing the conversation, felt a wave of despair wash over her. With no income and the weight of medical bills, how could they afford the surgery? That night, after the children were asleep, she sat by Melchor’s bedside, holding his hand tightly. “We need to find help, Melchor. We can’t do this alone.”

With a heavy heart, Melchor agreed. They decided to share their story with the community, hoping to find kind-hearted souls willing to lend a hand.
